    Seaghán ua Maoláin a chum an píosa seo
    A Chéis a’ Cuirn mo chúig céad slán leat,
    Bá dheas an áit a bheith le do thaoibh,
    Coillte failleagán is ba ina mbuaraigh,
    Is cuideachta shúgach le suidhe chun cláir,
    Chuaidh ar m’amharc is dalladh m’inntleacht,
    Ní mór gur léir dhom cnoc thar ghleann,
    Is anois ó chuaidh mé ó mhaith a dhéanamh,
    Mo chreach is mo léan gan mé in Dun na nGall.
    A Mhullaigh an réalta is beag mo spéis ionnat,
    Is cólaidh mé caith seal in do pháirt.
    Neach gan threóir mé chuaidh do d’éileamh,
    Is a liachtaí spéir ghlan i gcríochaibh Fáil,
    Is fada in-Acaill go dubh chroídheach mé,
    Gan spórt, gan aiteas, a’ feitheamh na maol chnoc réidh,
    Is i an uaigh mo leabaidh chaol cruaid,
    Gus is malrach gan caoineadh mé.
    Acaill aoibhinn áluinn is deise bláth,
    ‘S is milse féar,
    Is mall an tráth dhom anois do cháineadh,
    Is gur mé an bád bocht chaill a stúir,
